These are just question I have for the experts, that's why they are in the forum, nothing wrong with asking question, research what there saying and try for myself, it's been a long time since I pickup the normal 375 lbs bench press, sorry that I bothered you..

375lb bench?!?!
Was that during ur 1200 cal intake a day? Or before that...

The question you never ask nor did you know was that I use too lift a lot, that was 10 years ago, a lot has changed I am 38 and so much has changed I didn't lift for that time frame due to an accident in the military, it's all healed and just wanted to get back into it, back then we just ate and ate and ate now there so much science and good information out there I wanted people's opinion, and yes it was 375 darling..

I wouldn't do starting strength while cutting calories. Wait until you start a bulking program first, as the program is meant to use progressive resistance training; increasing the weight each session. This is hard to do during a caloric deficit.

As mentioned, the ketogenic diet would probably be your best bet. I've used it for years during cutting phases and found nothing but amazing results from it as have others on this board. The secret is putting your body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel. You'll have to do your own research on the diet, but believe me the principles are easily followed.

As far as cardio, nothing speeds up your metabolism like HIIT or any other form of cardio utilizing the anaerobic glysosis - tabata, HIIT, tire flipping or even circuit training. I would utilize the ketogenic diet and do HIIT twice per week for maximal results.

In regards to a lifting routine, it really depends on your level of training. I would focus on a full body program training compound movements and focusing on progressive overload. Increase your protein intake to prevent becoming catabolic and make sure to continue lifting heavy, so that your body has a reason to maintain its current muscle mass; with the keto diet, maintaining muscle isn't an issue at all.

I would also consider investing in some BCAA's. Your bodyfat% is entirely up to you. I like to stay under 10-12%, but that's just me. If you're not satisfied, then cut some more weight. Cutting out carbs with the keto alone will results in some weight loss (water weight), but you'll still need carbs to fuel your workouts, which is where the carb up day comes in with the CKD.

Anyway, good luck. Apply the knowledge that's been given to you and I'm sure you'll do fine.
